Another name for someone who selflessly helps others.
This term originates from the parable told by Jesus in the Bible about a Samaritan (a man from a country called Samaria) who helps out a Jewish man who is ambushed by theives and left to die. This was all the more selfless of an act considering that the Jewish and Samaritan people in those times usually did not associate with each other. This story was told in response to a question concerning the scriptural mandate to "love thy neighbor as thyself". According to the story, a man asked "Who is my neighbor?" and the moral of the parable is that everyone is really your neighbor (meaning you should help anyone you see in need).
Today a Good Samaritan is usually someone who goes out on a limb to help others, even if they are complete strangers.

Ex. An anonymous good Samaritan rescued a child from the river yesterday, but left the area before he could be thanked.

Get the Shamari mug.She’s a queen who shows a lot of love. However don’t get it twisted don’t play with her or you will feel the raft. Her smile literally lights up the world. She super intelligent and amazingly beautiful. Shes a lover of God. She’s short and feisty so beware. She’s spoiled too and loves to be loved the way she loves hard. She’s a hopeless romantic. She’s so amazing one definition couldn’t describe her you will need an entire book. She’s thick, funny, loves to laugh and has so much talent. People regret mistreating her and always regret their actions. Her energy and vibe is everything only when she fools with you.
If you ever meet Samaria your blessed treat her right and you will never lack love. She’s the best you will ever have.
